Seeing as these all flow down from my original response, I’m pretty sure it’s you who doesn’t understand the context of the conversation.

Also, the torture in question wasn’t the execution method. So again, I suggest you re-read the comment thread.

The decades are a function of the appeals processes; some mandatory, and others initiated by inmates.

I’m not sure fast tracking the process would be an improvement…

You realize that my questions were rhetorical, right?

Re-read the comment chain, maybe you meant to reply to someone else?

So if I’m sentenced to 20 years for first degree murder, is the fear and terror I feel over losing my freedom the state torturing me?

What about if my doctor’s office refuses to give me my diagnosis over the phone on a Friday, and tells me I have to wait for an office appointment on Monday. Is that torture? Should I file a legal complaint or try to get charges pressed?

You’re conflating internal agony and anticipatory fear, with actual externally applied methods of torture.

I understand what point you’re trying to make, but words have meaning and if everything is torture, then how bad can torture really be?

I disagree that a painless execution is torture, even if I understand where you’re coming from.

My objection to capital punishment isn’t because I don’t believe some people deserve death.

My objection is simply that innocent people are convicted all the time, but at least unjust incarceration is situation that can be reversed.

Setting aside the national shame that capital punishment is, regardless of the method used, they strapped his face with a mask. He wasn’t in a pod as nitrogen levels rose. He was force fed the gas with a mask that prevented him from “breathing” normally.

Unlikely, this is more of the domestic and close ally variety e.g. Epstein’s handlers/killers, or of that same caliber. The kind of people who can waive off, or prevent, an FBI counterintelligence operation from getting in the way…

Isn’t the article talking about a “tone deaf Supreme Court”?

This article was posted by a bot account, and apparently a lot of people came here just to downvote the only comment and leave no comments of their own.

Odd behavior. Reminds me of bot filled Reddit subs.
